Que Sera Sera

Pueblo mio, que estas en la colina
Tendido como un viejo que se muere
La pena, el abandono, son tu triste compañia
Pueblo mio te dejo sin alegria

Que sera, que sera, que sera
Que sera de mi vida, que sera
Si se mucho o no se nada
Ya mañana se vera, y sera
Sera, sera lo que sera

Ya mis amigos, se fueron casi todos
Y los otros partiran despues que yo
Lo siento porque amaba, su agradable compañia
Mas es mi vida tengo que marchar

Que sera, que sera, que sera
Que sera, de mi vida que sera
En las noches mi guitarra dulcemente sonara
Y una mucacha niña soñara

Amor mio me llevo tu sonrisa
Que fue la fuente de mi amor primero
Amor te lo prometo, como y cuando no lo se
Mas se tan solo que regresare

Que sera, que sera, que sera
Que sera, de mi vida que sera
En las noches mi guitarra dulcemente sonara
Y una niña de Puerto Rico soñara

Que sera, que sera, que sera
Que sera, de mi vida que sera
En las noches mi guitarra dulcemente sonara
Que sera, que sera, que sera...... que sera.

Bugs

My cats had been scratching themselves a lot these days. When I looked closely at their fur, I found fleas! Yeech. Off they went for a flea bath.

It wasn't before long when I started scratching too. Did I get fleas. hmmm. I did not have cats in my room. It is out of bounds. Could it be something else? I started to surf the net and found this website.

Do check it out. I could not imagine that Bedbugs is a big problem in cities like NY. If it becomes worse the problem could be a public issue. Who knows, the bedbug issue could be the one issue that wins a presidency. Watch out politicians when your marginal constituents are infested with bedbugs.

Tip: Lint remover

Do you have a lint remover? I had been getting a lot of inquiries about this lately. Could our environment be more dusty that lint sticks all over our clothes? Having lots of cats at home, I have always have problems with cat fur sticking to all my clothes. At one time, I when I wore my suite I looked like Chewbacca!

I have 3 types of lint removers:

1- The Big Roller
My personal favourite. I buy this at Jusco. If you are at 1Utama, its at the basement level of the home centre. Its at the laundry equipment and supplies aisle at the back of the store. It looks like a paint roller with a white plastic casing.

2- The small roller
Good for travelling. You can get this at Tesco.

3- The alternative
If I can't get any of the rest, I'll use this. Bought at Giant Hypermart.

Will post photos on the products soon .

Padlocks, grills and locks

How long does it take to cut a padlock and open an iron grill? Give your best guess. 10 minutes? 15 minutes? Half an hour?

60 seconds. I just saw a padlock and iron grill being opened in less than a minute. Just shocking!! It was decent quality padlock and strong iron grill. Howis this possible? The locks were opened by a cutter and a master key. In case you are wondering, this was done legally. The house owner did not have the lock keys.

How vulnerable are our homes? I am sure what is invented by man can be outdone by another man. Security is not an exception. Have more locks? Install a perimeter fencing? Alarm system? Security guards? Is this a solution? I wonder.

Property in KL

We Asians just love our property. I want to share with you an interesting fact. The richest man in the world used to be a Japanese at one time. And what made him wealthy? It was property. This was of course before the Japanese property bubble burst. Now we can't see him in the top 50 of the league table. Where is he?

Despite this fall from glory, property is still considered the best investment in Malaysia. Just how true is this claim? The typical answer would be like this "I bought my house for RM35k more than 30 years ago and now its worth RM500k!" Wow is this for real?

This example happens to be true. Its not an isolated incident. However it did happen when Malaysia's economy grew the most in its post independence history. The question now is, will the Malaysian economy be able to perform as it did? If yes, we can look forward to see those high returns again. If not? hmm...
